ation into the front rollers.

ing equally on inner and outer races until the inner
race comes in contact with the bearing spacer.

NOTE: Securing roller assembly with a gap larger than
0.060 inch (1.5 mm) creates a side load on bearings and
can lead to premature bearing failure.
3. Verify that there is no more than a 0.060 inch (1.5
mm) gap between roller assembly and the roller mount
brackets of the deck frame. I f this gap is larger than
0.060 inch (1.5 mm), shim excess clearance with 5/8”
